I am a Master's student at the CoMMA lab in the [Computer Science Department](https://www.cs.purdue.edu/) of [Purdue University](https://www.purdue.edu/).
Though it's too early to say for sure, my research interests include vision for robotics, physics informed networks, and motion planning, especially in wacky and unusual situations. In the past, I have worked with RL, language-controlled robots, and planning with PDEs.
I am also interested in how we can make proof-of-concept methods from literature reliable and explainable enough to deploy to commercial robots.

I am a Masters student in the CoMMA lab in the [Computer Science Department](https://www.cs.purdue.edu/) of [Purdue University](https://www.purdue.edu/). I am currently working on learning-based motion planning and trajectory optimization for realtime (millisecond!) planning.

I'm still sorting out my research interests, which broadly involve designing robotic systems and algorithms that can make informed adaptations to unseen and ever-changing conditions in the real world. Sometimes, this involves distilling high level semantic information into executable trajectories and motions.

In the past, I have worked on projects spanning kinodynamic motion planning for wacky situations, distributed multiagent RL, open language querying, and human-robot interaction/intent modelling. I am also interested in how we can make proof-of-concept methods from literature reliable and explainable enough to deploy to commercial robots.
